+TCG Intermediate Representation
+*******************************
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+TCG (Tiny Code Generator) began as a generic backend for a C
+compiler. It was simplified to be used in QEMU. It also has its roots
+in the QOP code generator written by Paul Brook.
+
+Definitions
+===========
+
+TCG receives RISC-like *TCG ops* and performs some optimizations on them,
+including liveness analysis and trivial constant expression
+evaluation.  TCG ops are then implemented in the host CPU back end,
+also known as the TCG target.
+
+The TCG *target* is the architecture for which we generate the
+code. It is of course not the same as the "target" of QEMU which is
+the emulated architecture. As TCG started as a generic C backend used
+for cross compiling, it is assumed that the TCG target is different
+from the host, although it is never the case for QEMU.
+
+In this document, we use *guest* to specify what architecture we are
+emulating; *target* always means the TCG target, the machine on which
+we are running QEMU.
+
+A TCG *function* corresponds to a QEMU Translated Block (TB).
+
+A TCG *temporary* is a variable only live in a basic block. Temporaries are allocated explicitly in each function.
+
+A TCG *local temporary* is a variable only live in a function. Local temporaries are allocated explicitly in each function.
+
+A TCG *global* is a variable which is live in all the functions
+(equivalent of a C global variable). They are defined before the
+functions defined. A TCG global can be a memory location (e.g. a QEMU
+CPU register), a fixed host register (e.g. the QEMU CPU state pointer)
+or a memory location which is stored in a register outside QEMU TBs
+(not implemented yet).
+
+A TCG *basic block* corresponds to a list of instructions terminated
+by a branch instruction.
+
+An operation with *undefined behavior* may result in a crash.
+
+An operation with *unspecified behavior* shall not crash.  However,
+the result may be one of several possibilities so may be considered
+an *undefined result*.
+
+Intermediate representation
+===========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+TCG instructions operate on variables which are temporaries, local
+temporaries or globals. TCG instructions and variables are strongly
+typed. Two types are supported: 32 bit integers and 64 bit
+integers. Pointers are defined as an alias to 32 bit or 64 bit
+integers depending on the TCG target word size.
+
+Each instruction has a fixed number of output variable operands, input
+variable operands and always constant operands.
+
+The notable exception is the call instruction which has a variable
+number of outputs and inputs.
+
+In the textual form, output operands usually come first, followed by
+input operands, followed by constant operands. The output type is
+included in the instruction name. Constants are prefixed with a '$'.

+   add_i32 t0, t1, t2    /* (t0 <- t1 + t2) */
+
+
+Assumptions
+-----------
+
+Basic blocks
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Basic blocks end after branches (e.g. brcond_i32 instruction),
+  goto_tb and exit_tb instructions.
+
+* Basic blocks start after the end of a previous basic block, or at a
+  set_label instruction.
+
+After the end of a basic block, the content of temporaries is
+destroyed, but local temporaries and globals are preserved.
+
+Floating point types
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Floating point types are not supported yet
+
+Pointers
+^^^^^^^^
+
+* Depending on the TCG target, pointer size is 32 bit or 64
+  bit. The type ``TCG_TYPE_PTR`` is an alias to ``TCG_TYPE_I32`` or
+  ``TCG_TYPE_I64``.
+
+Helpers
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Using the tcg_gen_helper_x_y it is possible to call any function
+  taking i32, i64 or pointer types. By default, before calling a helper,
+  all globals are stored at their canonical location and it is assumed
+  that the function can modify them. By default, the helper is allowed to
+  modify the CPU state or raise an exception.
+
+  This can be overridden using the following function modifiers:
+
+  - ``TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS`` means that the helper does not read globals,
+    either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their
+    canonical locations before calling the helper.
+
+  - ``TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS`` means that the helper does not modify any globals.
+    They will only be saved to their canonical location before calling helpers,
+    but they won't be reloaded afterwards.
+
+  - ``TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS`` means that the call to the function is removed if
+    the return value is not used.
+
+  Note that ``TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS`` implies ``TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS``.
+
+  On some TCG targets (e.g. x86), several calling conventions are
+  supported.
+
+Branches
+^^^^^^^^
+
+* Use the instruction 'br' to jump to a label.
+
+Code Optimizations
+------------------
+
+When generating instructions, you can count on at least the following
+optimizations:
+
+- Single instructions are simplified, e.g.
+
+  .. code-block:: none
+
+     and_i32 t0, t0, $0xffffffff
+
+  is suppressed.
+
+- A liveness analysis is done at the basic block level. The
+  information is used to suppress moves from a dead variable to
+  another one. It is also used to remove instructions which compute
+  dead results. The later is especially useful for condition code
+  optimization in QEMU.
+
+  In the following example:
+
+  .. code-block:: none
+
+     add_i32 t0, t1, t2
+     add_i32 t0, t0, $1
+     mov_i32 t0, $1
+
+  only the last instruction is kept.

+     - | 16 bit byte swap on the low bits of a 32/64 bit input.
+       |
+       | If *flags* & ``TCG_BSWAP_IZ``, then *t1* is known to be zero-extended from bit 15.

+       |
+       | If neither ``TCG_BSWAP_OZ`` nor ``TCG_BSWAP_OS`` are set, then the bits of *t0* above bit 15 may contain any value.
+
+   * - bswap32_i64 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*
+
+     - | 32 bit byte swap on a 64-bit value.  The flags are the same as for bswap16,
+         except they apply from bit 31 instead of bit 15.
+
+   * - bswap32_i32 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*
+
+       bswap64_i64 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*
+
+     - | 32/64 bit byte swap. The flags are ignored, but still present
+         for consistency with the other bswap opcodes.
+
+   * - discard_i32/i64 *t0*
+
+     - | Indicate that the value of *t0* won't be used later. It is useful to
+         force dead code elimination.
+
+   * - deposit_i32/i64 *dest*, *t1*, *t2*, *pos*, *len*
+
+     - | Deposit *t2* as a bitfield into *t1*, placing the result in *dest*.
+       |
+       | The bitfield is described by *pos*/*len*, which are immediate values:
+       |
+       |     *len* - the length of the bitfield
+       |     *pos* - the position of the first bit, counting from the LSB
+       |
+       | For example, "deposit_i32 dest, t1, t2, 8, 4" indicates a 4-bit field
+         at bit 8. This operation would be equivalent to
+       |
+       |     *dest* = (*t1* & ~0x0f00) | ((*t2* << 8) & 0x0f00)
+
+   * - extract_i32/i64 *dest*, *t1*, *pos*, *len*
+
+       sextract_i32/i64 *dest*, *t1*, *pos*, *len*
+
+     - | Extract a bitfield from *t1*, placing the result in *dest*.
+       |
+       | The bitfield is described by *pos*/*len*, which are immediate values,
+         as above for deposit.  For extract_*, the result will be extended
+         to the left with zeros; for sextract_*, the result will be extended
+         to the left with copies of the bitfield sign bit at *pos* + *len* - 1.
+       |
+       | For example, "sextract_i32 dest, t1, 8, 4" indicates a 4-bit field
+         at bit 8. This operation would be equivalent to
+       |
+       |    *dest* = (*t1* << 20) >> 28
+       |
+       | (using an arithmetic right shift).
+
+   * - extract2_i32/i64 *dest*, *t1*, *t2*, *pos*
+
+     - | For N = {32,64}, extract an N-bit quantity from the concatenation
+         of *t2*:*t1*, beginning at *pos*. The tcg_gen_extract2_{i32,i64} expander
+         accepts 0 <= *pos* <= N as inputs. The backend code generator will
+         not see either 0 or N as inputs for these opcodes.
+
+   * - extrl_i64_i32 *t0*, *t1*
+
+     - | For 64-bit hosts only, extract the low 32-bits of input *t1* and place it
+         into 32-bit output *t0*.  Depending on the host, this may be a simple move,
+         or may require additional canonicalization.
+
+   * - extrh_i64_i32 *t0*, *t1*
+
+     - | For 64-bit hosts only, extract the high 32-bits of input *t1* and place it

+       |
+       | Write 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits to host memory.
+
+All this opcodes assume that the pointed host memory doesn't correspond

+
+Multiword arithmetic support
+----------------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+
+   * - add2_i32/i64 *t0_low*, *t0_high*, *t1_low*, *t1_high*, *t2_low*, *t2_high*
+
+       sub2_i32/i64 *t0_low*, *t0_high*, *t1_low*, *t1_high*, *t2_low*, *t2_high*
+
+     - | Similar to add/sub, except that the double-word inputs *t1* and *t2* are
+         formed from two single-word arguments, and the double-word output *t0*
+         is returned in two single-word outputs.
+
+   * - mulu2_i32/i64 *t0_low*, *t0_high*, *t1*, *t2*
+
+     - | Similar to mul, except two unsigned inputs *t1* and *t2* yielding the full
+         double-word product *t0*. The latter is returned in two single-word outputs.
+
+   * - muls2_i32/i64 *t0_low*, *t0_high*, *t1*, *t2*
+
+     - | Similar to mulu2, except the two inputs *t1* and *t2* are signed.
+
+   * - mulsh_i32/i64 *t0*, *t1*, *t2*
+
+       muluh_i32/i64 *t0*, *t1*, *t2*
+
+     - | Provide the high part of a signed or unsigned multiply, respectively.
+       |
+       | If mulu2/muls2 are not provided by the backend, the tcg-op generator
+         can obtain the same results by emitting a pair of opcodes, mul + muluh/mulsh.
+
+
+Memory Barrier support
+----------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+
+   * - mb *<$arg>*
+
+     - | Generate a target memory barrier instruction to ensure memory ordering
+         as being  enforced by a corresponding guest memory barrier instruction.
+       |
+       | The ordering enforced by the backend may be stricter than the ordering
+         required by the guest. It cannot be weaker. This opcode takes a constant
+         argument which is required to generate the appropriate barrier
+         instruction. The backend should take care to emit the target barrier
+         instruction only when necessary i.e., for SMP guests and when MTTCG is
+         enabled.
+       |
+       | The guest translators should generate this opcode for all guest instructions
+         which have ordering side effects.
+       |
+       | Please see :ref:`atomics-ref` for more information on memory barriers.
+
+
+64-bit guest on 32-bit host support
+-----------------------------------
+
+The following opcodes are internal to TCG.  Thus they are to be implemented by
+32-bit host code generators, but are not to be emitted by guest translators.
+They are emitted as needed by inline functions within ``tcg-op.h``.
+
+.. list-table::
+
+   * - brcond2_i32 *t0_low*, *t0_high*, *t1_low*, *t1_high*, *cond*, *label*
+
+     - | Similar to brcond, except that the 64-bit values *t0* and *t1*
+         are formed from two 32-bit arguments.
+
+   * - setcond2_i32 *dest*, *t1_low*, *t1_high*, *t2_low*, *t2_high*, *cond*
+
+     - | Similar to setcond, except that the 64-bit values *t1* and *t2* are
+         formed from two 32-bit arguments. The result is a 32-bit value.
+
+
+QEMU specific operations
+------------------------
+
+.. list-table::
+
+   * - exit_tb *t0*
+
+     - | Exit the current TB and return the value *t0* (word type).
+
+   * - goto_tb *index*
+
+     - | Exit the current TB and jump to the TB index *index* (constant) if the
+         current TB was linked to this TB. Otherwise execute the next
+         instructions. Only indices 0 and 1 are valid and tcg_gen_goto_tb may be issued
+         at most once with each slot index per TB.
+
+   * - lookup_and_goto_ptr *tb_addr*
+
+     - | Look up a TB address *tb_addr* and jump to it if valid. If not valid,
+         jump to the TCG epilogue to go back to the exec loop.
+       |
+       | This operation is optional. If the TCG backend does not implement the
+         goto_ptr opcode, emitting this op is equivalent to emitting exit_tb(0).
+
+   * - qemu_ld_i32/i64 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*, *memidx*
+
+       qemu_st_i32/i64 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*, *memidx*
+
+       qemu_st8_i32 *t0*, *t1*, *flags*, *memidx*
+
+     - | Load data at the guest address *t1* into *t0*, or store data in *t0* at guest
+         address *t1*.  The _i32/_i64 size applies to the size of the input/output
+         register *t0* only.  The address *t1* is always sized according to the guest,
+         and the width of the memory operation is controlled by *flags*.
+       |
+       | Both *t0* and *t1* may be split into little-endian ordered pairs of registers
+         if dealing with 64-bit quantities on a 32-bit host.
+       |
+       | The *memidx* selects the qemu tlb index to use (e.g. user or kernel access).
+         The flags are the MemOp bits, selecting the sign, width, and endianness
+         of the memory access.
+       |
+       | For a 32-bit host, qemu_ld/st_i64 is guaranteed to only be used with a
+         64-bit memory access specified in *flags*.
+       |
+       | For i386, qemu_st8_i32 is exactly like qemu_st_i32, except the size of
+         the memory operation is known to be 8-bit.  This allows the backend to
+         provide a different set of register constraints.
+
+
+Host vector operations
+----------------------
+
+All of the vector ops have two parameters, ``TCGOP_VECL`` & ``TCGOP_VECE``.
+The former specifies the length of the vector in log2 64-bit units; the
+latter specifies the length of the element (if applicable) in log2 8-bit units.
+E.g. VECL = 1 -> 64 << 1 -> v128, and VECE = 2 -> 1 << 2 -> i32.
+
+.. list-table::
+
+   * - mov_vec *v0*, *v1*
+       ld_vec *v0*, *t1*
+       st_vec *v0*, *t1*
+
+     - | Move, load and store.

+
+     - | Duplicate the low N bits of *r1* into VECL/VECE copies across *v0*.

+       | Smaller values will be replicated to host register size by the expanders.
+
+   * - dup2_vec *v0*, *r1*, *r2*

+function tcg_gen_xxx(args).
+
+
+Backend
+=======
+
+``tcg-target.h`` contains the target specific definitions. ``tcg-target.c.inc``
+contains the target specific code; it is #included by ``tcg/tcg.c``, rather
+than being a standalone C file.
+
+Assumptions
+-----------
+
+The target word size (``TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS``) is expected to be 32 bit or
+64 bit. It is expected that the pointer has the same size as the word.
+
+On a 32 bit target, all 64 bit operations are converted to 32 bits. A
+few specific operations must be implemented to allow it (see add2_i32,
+sub2_i32, brcond2_i32).
+
+On a 64 bit target, the values are transferred between 32 and 64-bit
+registers using the following ops:
+
+- trunc_shr_i64_i32
+- ext_i32_i64
+- extu_i32_i64
+
+They ensure that the values are correctly truncated or extended when
+moved from a 32-bit to a 64-bit register or vice-versa. Note that the
+trunc_shr_i64_i32 is an optional op. It is not necessary to implement
+it if all the following conditions are met:
+
+- 64-bit registers can hold 32-bit values
+- 32-bit values in a 64-bit register do not need to stay zero or
+  sign extended
+- all 32-bit TCG ops ignore the high part of 64-bit registers
+
+Floating point operations are not supported in this version. A
+previous incarnation of the code generator had full support of them,
+but it is better to concentrate on integer operations first.
+
+Constraints
+----------------
+
+GCC like constraints are used to define the constraints of every
+instruction. Memory constraints are not supported in this
+version. Aliases are specified in the input operands as for GCC.
+
+The same register may be used for both an input and an output, even when
+they are not explicitly aliased.  If an op expands to multiple target
+instructions then care must be taken to avoid clobbering input values.
+GCC style "early clobber" outputs are supported, with '``&``'.
+
+A target can define specific register or constant constraints. If an
+operation uses a constant input constraint which does not allow all
+constants, it must also accept registers in order to have a fallback.
+The constraint '``i``' is defined generically to accept any constant.
+The constraint '``r``' is not defined generically, but is consistently
+used by each backend to indicate all registers.
+
+The movi_i32 and movi_i64 operations must accept any constants.
+
+The mov_i32 and mov_i64 operations must accept any registers of the
+same type.
+
+The ld/st/sti instructions must accept signed 32 bit constant offsets.
+This can be implemented by reserving a specific register in which to
+compute the address if the offset is too big.
+
+The ld/st instructions must accept any destination (ld) or source (st)
+register.
+
+The sti instruction may fail if it cannot store the given constant.
+
+Function call assumptions
+-------------------------
+
+- The only supported types for parameters and return value are: 32 and
+  64 bit integers and pointer.
+- The stack grows downwards.
+- The first N parameters are passed in registers.
+- The next parameters are passed on the stack by storing them as words.
+- Some registers are clobbered during the call.
+- The function can return 0 or 1 value in registers. On a 32 bit
+  target, functions must be able to return 2 values in registers for
+  64 bit return type.
+
+
+Recommended coding rules for best performance
+=============================================
+
+- Use globals to represent the parts of the QEMU CPU state which are
+  often modified, e.g. the integer registers and the condition
+  codes. TCG will be able to use host registers to store them.
+
+- Avoid globals stored in fixed registers. They must be used only to
+  store the pointer to the CPU state and possibly to store a pointer
+  to a register window.
+
+- Use temporaries. Use local temporaries only when really needed,
+  e.g. when you need to use a value after a jump. Local temporaries
+  introduce a performance hit in the current TCG implementation: their
+  content is saved to memory at end of each basic block.
+
+- Free temporaries and local temporaries when they are no longer used
+  (tcg_temp_free). Since tcg_const_x() also creates a temporary, you
+  should free it after it is used. Freeing temporaries does not yield
+  a better generated code, but it reduces the memory usage of TCG and
+  the speed of the translation.
+
+- Don't hesitate to use helpers for complicated or seldom used guest
+  instructions. There is little performance advantage in using TCG to
+  implement guest instructions taking more than about twenty TCG
+  instructions. Note that this rule of thumb is more applicable to
+  helpers doing complex logic or arithmetic, where the C compiler has
+  scope to do a good job of optimisation; it is less relevant where
+  the instruction is mostly doing loads and stores, and in those cases
+  inline TCG may still be faster for longer sequences.
+
+- The hard limit on the number of TCG instructions you can generate
+  per guest instruction is set by ``MAX_OP_PER_INSTR`` in ``exec-all.h`` --
+  you cannot exceed this without risking a buffer overrun.
+
+- Use the 'discard' instruction if you know that TCG won't be able to
+  prove that a given global is "dead" at a given program point. The
+  x86 guest uses it to improve the condition codes optimisation.

-Tiny Code Generator - Fabrice Bellard.
-
-1) Introduction
-
-TCG (Tiny Code Generator) began as a generic backend for a C
-compiler. It was simplified to be used in QEMU. It also has its roots
-in the QOP code generator written by Paul Brook. 
-
-2) Definitions
-
-TCG receives RISC-like "TCG ops" and performs some optimizations on them,
-including liveness analysis and trivial constant expression
-evaluation.  TCG ops are then implemented in the host CPU back end,
-also known as the TCG "target".
-
-The TCG "target" is the architecture for which we generate the
-code. It is of course not the same as the "target" of QEMU which is
-the emulated architecture. As TCG started as a generic C backend used
-for cross compiling, it is assumed that the TCG target is different
-from the host, although it is never the case for QEMU.
-
-In this document, we use "guest" to specify what architecture we are
-emulating; "target" always means the TCG target, the machine on which
-we are running QEMU.
-
-A TCG "function" corresponds to a QEMU Translated Block (TB).
-
-A TCG "temporary" is a variable only live in a basic
-block. Temporaries are allocated explicitly in each function.
-
-A TCG "local temporary" is a variable only live in a function. Local
-temporaries are allocated explicitly in each function.
-
-A TCG "global" is a variable which is live in all the functions
-(equivalent of a C global variable). They are defined before the
-functions defined. A TCG global can be a memory location (e.g. a QEMU
-CPU register), a fixed host register (e.g. the QEMU CPU state pointer)
-or a memory location which is stored in a register outside QEMU TBs
-(not implemented yet).
-
-A TCG "basic block" corresponds to a list of instructions terminated
-by a branch instruction. 
-
-An operation with "undefined behavior" may result in a crash.
-
-An operation with "unspecified behavior" shall not crash.  However,
-the result may be one of several possibilities so may be considered
-an "undefined result".
-
-3) Intermediate representation
-
-3.1) Introduction
-
-TCG instructions operate on variables which are temporaries, local
-temporaries or globals. TCG instructions and variables are strongly
-typed. Two types are supported: 32 bit integers and 64 bit
-integers. Pointers are defined as an alias to 32 bit or 64 bit
-integers depending on the TCG target word size.
-
-Each instruction has a fixed number of output variable operands, input
-variable operands and always constant operands.
-
-The notable exception is the call instruction which has a variable
-number of outputs and inputs.
-
-In the textual form, output operands usually come first, followed by
-input operands, followed by constant operands. The output type is
-included in the instruction name. Constants are prefixed with a '$'.
-
-add_i32 t0, t1, t2  (t0 <- t1 + t2)
-
-3.2) Assumptions
-
-* Basic blocks
-
-- Basic blocks end after branches (e.g. brcond_i32 instruction),
-  goto_tb and exit_tb instructions.
-- Basic blocks start after the end of a previous basic block, or at a
-  set_label instruction.
-
-After the end of a basic block, the content of temporaries is
-destroyed, but local temporaries and globals are preserved.
-
-* Floating point types are not supported yet
-
-* Pointers: depending on the TCG target, pointer size is 32 bit or 64
-  bit. The type TCG_TYPE_PTR is an alias to TCG_TYPE_I32 or
-  TCG_TYPE_I64.
-
-* Helpers:
-
-Using the tcg_gen_helper_x_y it is possible to call any function
-taking i32, i64 or pointer types. By default, before calling a helper,
-all globals are stored at their canonical location and it is assumed
-that the function can modify them. By default, the helper is allowed to
-modify the CPU state or raise an exception.
-
-This can be overridden using the following function modifiers:
-- TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS means that the helper does not read globals,
-  either directly or via an exception. They will not be saved to their
-  canonical locations before calling the helper.
-- TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS means that the helper does not modify any globals.
-  They will only be saved to their canonical location before calling helpers,
-  but they won't be reloaded afterwards.
-- TCG_CALL_NO_SIDE_EFFECTS means that the call to the function is removed if
-  the return value is not used.
-
-Note that TCG_CALL_NO_READ_GLOBALS implies TCG_CALL_NO_WRITE_GLOBALS.
-
-On some TCG targets (e.g. x86), several calling conventions are
-supported.
-
-* Branches:
-
-Use the instruction 'br' to jump to a label.
-
-3.3) Code Optimizations
-
-When generating instructions, you can count on at least the following
-optimizations:
-
-- Single instructions are simplified, e.g.
-
-   and_i32 t0, t0, $0xffffffff
-    
-  is suppressed.
-
-- A liveness analysis is done at the basic block level. The
-  information is used to suppress moves from a dead variable to
-  another one. It is also used to remove instructions which compute
-  dead results. The later is especially useful for condition code
-  optimization in QEMU.
-
-  In the following example:
-
-  add_i32 t0, t1, t2
-  add_i32 t0, t0, $1
-  mov_i32 t0, $1
-
-  only the last instruction is kept.

-
-t0 = t1
-
-Move t1 to t0 (both operands must have the same type).
-
-* ext8s_i32/i64 t0, t1
-ext8u_i32/i64 t0, t1
-ext16s_i32/i64 t0, t1
-ext16u_i32/i64 t0, t1
-ext32s_i64 t0, t1

-
-* bswap16_i32/i64 t0, t1, flags
-
-16 bit byte swap on the low bits of a 32/64 bit input.
-If flags & TCG_BSWAP_IZ, then t1 is known to be zero-extended from bit 15.
-If flags & TCG_BSWAP_OZ, then t0 will be zero-extended from bit 15.
-If flags & TCG_BSWAP_OS, then t0 will be sign-extended from bit 15.
-If neither TCG_BSWAP_OZ nor TCG_BSWAP_OS are set, then the bits of
-t0 above bit 15 may contain any value.
-
-* bswap32_i64 t0, t1, flags
-
-32 bit byte swap on a 64-bit value.  The flags are the same as for bswap16,
-except they apply from bit 31 instead of bit 15.
-
-* bswap32_i32 t0, t1, flags
-* bswap64_i64 t0, t1, flags
-
-32/64 bit byte swap.  The flags are ignored, but still present
-for consistency with the other bswap opcodes.
-
-* discard_i32/i64 t0
-
-Indicate that the value of t0 won't be used later. It is useful to
-force dead code elimination.
-
-* deposit_i32/i64 dest, t1, t2, pos, len
-
-Deposit T2 as a bitfield into T1, placing the result in DEST.
-The bitfield is described by POS/LEN, which are immediate values:
-
-  LEN - the length of the bitfield
-  POS - the position of the first bit, counting from the LSB
-
-For example, "deposit_i32 dest, t1, t2, 8, 4" indicates a 4-bit field
-at bit 8.  This operation would be equivalent to
-
-  dest = (t1 & ~0x0f00) | ((t2 << 8) & 0x0f00)
-
-* extract_i32/i64 dest, t1, pos, len
-* sextract_i32/i64 dest, t1, pos, len
-
-Extract a bitfield from T1, placing the result in DEST.
-The bitfield is described by POS/LEN, which are immediate values,
-as above for deposit.  For extract_*, the result will be extended
-to the left with zeros; for sextract_*, the result will be extended
-to the left with copies of the bitfield sign bit at pos + len - 1.
-
-For example, "sextract_i32 dest, t1, 8, 4" indicates a 4-bit field
-at bit 8.  This operation would be equivalent to
-
-  dest = (t1 << 20) >> 28
-
-(using an arithmetic right shift).
-
-* extract2_i32/i64 dest, t1, t2, pos
-
-For N = {32,64}, extract an N-bit quantity from the concatenation
-of t2:t1, beginning at pos.  The tcg_gen_extract2_{i32,i64} expander
-accepts 0 <= pos <= N as inputs.  The backend code generator will
-not see either 0 or N as inputs for these opcodes.
-
-* extrl_i64_i32 t0, t1
-
-For 64-bit hosts only, extract the low 32-bits of input T1 and place it
-into 32-bit output T0.  Depending on the host, this may be a simple move,
-or may require additional canonicalization.
-
-* extrh_i64_i32 t0, t1
-
-For 64-bit hosts only, extract the high 32-bits of input T1 and place it
-into 32-bit output T0.  Depending on the host, this may be a simple shift,
-or may require additional canonicalization.
-
-********* Conditional moves

-
-* movcond_i32/i64 dest, c1, c2, v1, v2, cond
-
-dest = (c1 cond c2 ? v1 : v2)
-
-Set DEST to V1 if (C1 cond C2) is true, otherwise set to V2.
-
-********* Type conversions
-

-Convert t1 (32 bit) to t0 (64 bit) and does zero extension
-
-* trunc_i64_i32 t0, t1
-Truncate t1 (64 bit) to t0 (32 bit)
-
-* concat_i32_i64 t0, t1, t2

-from t2 (32 bit).
-
-* concat32_i64 t0, t1, t2
-Construct t0 (64-bit) taking the low half from t1 (64 bit) and the high half
-from t2 (64 bit).

-ld8u_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-ld16s_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-ld16u_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-ld32s_i64 t0, t1, offset
-ld32u_i64 t0, t1, offset
-
-t0 = read(t1 + offset)
-Load 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits with or without sign extension from host memory. 
-offset must be a constant.
-
-* st_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-st8_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-st16_i32/i64 t0, t1, offset
-st32_i64 t0, t1, offset
-
-write(t0, t1 + offset)
-Write 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits to host memory.
-
-All this opcodes assume that the pointed host memory doesn't correspond
-to a global. In the latter case the behaviour is unpredictable.
-
-********* Multiword arithmetic support
-
-* add2_i32/i64 t0_low, t0_high, t1_low, t1_high, t2_low, t2_high
-* sub2_i32/i64 t0_low, t0_high, t1_low, t1_high, t2_low, t2_high
-
-Similar to add/sub, except that the double-word inputs T1 and T2 are
-formed from two single-word arguments, and the double-word output T0
-is returned in two single-word outputs.
-
-* mulu2_i32/i64 t0_low, t0_high, t1, t2
-
-Similar to mul, except two unsigned inputs T1 and T2 yielding the full
-double-word product T0.  The later is returned in two single-word outputs.
-
-* muls2_i32/i64 t0_low, t0_high, t1, t2
-
-Similar to mulu2, except the two inputs T1 and T2 are signed.
-
-* mulsh_i32/i64 t0, t1, t2
-* muluh_i32/i64 t0, t1, t2
-
-Provide the high part of a signed or unsigned multiply, respectively.
-If mulu2/muls2 are not provided by the backend, the tcg-op generator
-can obtain the same results can be obtained by emitting a pair of
-opcodes, mul+muluh/mulsh.
-
-********* Memory Barrier support
-
-* mb <$arg>
-
-Generate a target memory barrier instruction to ensure memory ordering as being
-enforced by a corresponding guest memory barrier instruction. The ordering
-enforced by the backend may be stricter than the ordering required by the guest.
-It cannot be weaker. This opcode takes a constant argument which is required to
-generate the appropriate barrier instruction. The backend should take care to
-emit the target barrier instruction only when necessary i.e., for SMP guests and
-when MTTCG is enabled.
-
-The guest translators should generate this opcode for all guest instructions
-which have ordering side effects.
-
-Please see docs/devel/atomics.rst for more information on memory barriers.
-
-********* 64-bit guest on 32-bit host support
-
-The following opcodes are internal to TCG.  Thus they are to be implemented by
-32-bit host code generators, but are not to be emitted by guest translators.
-They are emitted as needed by inline functions within "tcg-op.h".
-
-* brcond2_i32 t0_low, t0_high, t1_low, t1_high, cond, label
-
-Similar to brcond, except that the 64-bit values T0 and T1
-are formed from two 32-bit arguments.
-
-* setcond2_i32 dest, t1_low, t1_high, t2_low, t2_high, cond
-
-Similar to setcond, except that the 64-bit values T1 and T2 are
-formed from two 32-bit arguments.  The result is a 32-bit value.
-
-********* QEMU specific operations
-
-* exit_tb t0
-
-Exit the current TB and return the value t0 (word type).
-
-* goto_tb index
-
-Exit the current TB and jump to the TB index 'index' (constant) if the
-current TB was linked to this TB. Otherwise execute the next
-instructions. Only indices 0 and 1 are valid and tcg_gen_goto_tb may be issued
-at most once with each slot index per TB.
-
-* lookup_and_goto_ptr tb_addr
-
-Look up a TB address ('tb_addr') and jump to it if valid. If not valid,
-jump to the TCG epilogue to go back to the exec loop.
-
-This operation is optional. If the TCG backend does not implement the
-goto_ptr opcode, emitting this op is equivalent to emitting exit_tb(0).
-
-* qemu_ld_i32/i64 t0, t1, flags, memidx
-* qemu_st_i32/i64 t0, t1, flags, memidx
-* qemu_st8_i32 t0, t1, flags, memidx
-
-Load data at the guest address t1 into t0, or store data in t0 at guest
-address t1.  The _i32/_i64 size applies to the size of the input/output
-register t0 only.  The address t1 is always sized according to the guest,
-and the width of the memory operation is controlled by flags.
-
-Both t0 and t1 may be split into little-endian ordered pairs of registers
-if dealing with 64-bit quantities on a 32-bit host.
-
-The memidx selects the qemu tlb index to use (e.g. user or kernel access).
-The flags are the MemOp bits, selecting the sign, width, and endianness
-of the memory access.
-
-For a 32-bit host, qemu_ld/st_i64 is guaranteed to only be used with a
-64-bit memory access specified in flags.
-
-For i386, qemu_st8_i32 is exactly like qemu_st_i32, except the size of
-the memory operation is known to be 8-bit.  This allows the backend to
-provide a different set of register constraints.
-
-********* Host vector operations
-
-All of the vector ops have two parameters, TCGOP_VECL & TCGOP_VECE.
-The former specifies the length of the vector in log2 64-bit units; the
-later specifies the length of the element (if applicable) in log2 8-bit units.
-E.g. VECL=1 -> 64 << 1 -> v128, and VECE=2 -> 1 << 2 -> i32.

-
-*********
-
-Note 1: Some shortcuts are defined when the last operand is known to be
-a constant (e.g. addi for add, movi for mov).
-
-Note 2: When using TCG, the opcodes must never be generated directly
-as some of them may not be available as "real" opcodes. Always use the
-function tcg_gen_xxx(args).
-
-4) Backend
-
-tcg-target.h contains the target specific definitions. tcg-target.c.inc
-contains the target specific code; it is #included by tcg/tcg.c, rather
-than being a standalone C file.
-
-4.1) Assumptions
-
-The target word size (TCG_TARGET_REG_BITS) is expected to be 32 bit or
-64 bit. It is expected that the pointer has the same size as the word.
-
-On a 32 bit target, all 64 bit operations are converted to 32 bits. A
-few specific operations must be implemented to allow it (see add2_i32,
-sub2_i32, brcond2_i32).
-
-On a 64 bit target, the values are transferred between 32 and 64-bit
-registers using the following ops:
-- trunc_shr_i64_i32
-- ext_i32_i64
-- extu_i32_i64
-
-They ensure that the values are correctly truncated or extended when
-moved from a 32-bit to a 64-bit register or vice-versa. Note that the
-trunc_shr_i64_i32 is an optional op. It is not necessary to implement
-it if all the following conditions are met:
-- 64-bit registers can hold 32-bit values
-- 32-bit values in a 64-bit register do not need to stay zero or
-  sign extended
-- all 32-bit TCG ops ignore the high part of 64-bit registers
-
-Floating point operations are not supported in this version. A
-previous incarnation of the code generator had full support of them,
-but it is better to concentrate on integer operations first.
-
-4.2) Constraints
-
-GCC like constraints are used to define the constraints of every
-instruction. Memory constraints are not supported in this
-version. Aliases are specified in the input operands as for GCC.
-
-The same register may be used for both an input and an output, even when
-they are not explicitly aliased.  If an op expands to multiple target
-instructions then care must be taken to avoid clobbering input values.
-GCC style "early clobber" outputs are supported, with '&'.
-
-A target can define specific register or constant constraints. If an
-operation uses a constant input constraint which does not allow all
-constants, it must also accept registers in order to have a fallback.
-The constraint 'i' is defined generically to accept any constant.
-The constraint 'r' is not defined generically, but is consistently
-used by each backend to indicate all registers.
-
-The movi_i32 and movi_i64 operations must accept any constants.
-
-The mov_i32 and mov_i64 operations must accept any registers of the
-same type.
-
-The ld/st/sti instructions must accept signed 32 bit constant offsets.
-This can be implemented by reserving a specific register in which to
-compute the address if the offset is too big.
-
-The ld/st instructions must accept any destination (ld) or source (st)
-register.
-
-The sti instruction may fail if it cannot store the given constant.
-
-4.3) Function call assumptions
-
-- The only supported types for parameters and return value are: 32 and
-  64 bit integers and pointer.
-- The stack grows downwards.
-- The first N parameters are passed in registers.
-- The next parameters are passed on the stack by storing them as words.
-- Some registers are clobbered during the call. 
-- The function can return 0 or 1 value in registers. On a 32 bit
-  target, functions must be able to return 2 values in registers for
-  64 bit return type.
-
-5) Recommended coding rules for best performance
-
-- Use globals to represent the parts of the QEMU CPU state which are
-  often modified, e.g. the integer registers and the condition
-  codes. TCG will be able to use host registers to store them.
-
-- Avoid globals stored in fixed registers. They must be used only to
-  store the pointer to the CPU state and possibly to store a pointer
-  to a register window.
-
-- Use temporaries. Use local temporaries only when really needed,
-  e.g. when you need to use a value after a jump. Local temporaries
-  introduce a performance hit in the current TCG implementation: their
-  content is saved to memory at end of each basic block.
-
-- Free temporaries and local temporaries when they are no longer used
-  (tcg_temp_free). Since tcg_const_x() also creates a temporary, you
-  should free it after it is used. Freeing temporaries does not yield
-  a better generated code, but it reduces the memory usage of TCG and
-  the speed of the translation.
-
-- Don't hesitate to use helpers for complicated or seldom used guest
-  instructions. There is little performance advantage in using TCG to
-  implement guest instructions taking more than about twenty TCG
-  instructions. Note that this rule of thumb is more applicable to
-  helpers doing complex logic or arithmetic, where the C compiler has
-  scope to do a good job of optimisation; it is less relevant where
-  the instruction is mostly doing loads and stores, and in those cases
-  inline TCG may still be faster for longer sequences.
-
-- The hard limit on the number of TCG instructions you can generate
-  per guest instruction is set by MAX_OP_PER_INSTR in exec-all.h --
-  you cannot exceed this without risking a buffer overrun.
-
-- Use the 'discard' instruction if you know that TCG won't be able to
-  prove that a given global is "dead" at a given program point. The
-  x86 guest uses it to improve the condition codes optimisation.
